Filled it up, pumped it a few times and all was good, for a few miles then poof, no brakes, fluid empty again, no signs of leaks. Nursed it home with the e brake and wouldn't you know, a recall notice for master cylinder failure. Called my local dealer to schedule it and was told the parts are not available, as they have not been "released" by Ford yet. No parts stores list them so now I have a $46,000 lawn ornament until Ford releases the parts. How the hell can a master cylinder not be available for a 2 year old vehicle? I checked and saw posts that are over 2 months old with people waiting on a master cylinder. Ford has dropped the ball big time.
I am going to the dealership in the morning to see what resolution they have for me, either fix my truck, Ford makes my payment till it is fixed, Same model loaner while mine is down, or Give me the payoff as trade in. If this is not resolved in the morning off the another brand I will go.
2 freaking years old and can't get a Master Cylinder? Come on Ford, this is an EPIC fail.

After the trip to the dealer here is what I know.

OK so here is the lowdown on this recall.
1. I was required to get the vehicle to them, Did not want to use Ford's towing service, so I used a trailer from work.
The following was explained to me by the Service Manager
1. They have to pull the Master cylinder.
2. They then have to take pictures showing that the unit has failed leaking brake fluid into the brake booster.
3. They send the pictures to the recall board.
4. The recall board then determines that yes it has failed and authorizes the MC and Booster to be shipped to replace the failed unit. If they determine that the parts did not fail I have to wait for the parts to be released before they can be replaced. (Sounds like Obamacare to me)
5. Expedited shipping.
6. New parts installed and I get the truck back.

So basically unless there is a total failure of the brake system there is zero chance that the parts will be shipped to replace a known defective part. Now I am kind of wishing I would have swerved off the road and hit a pole, I could have hired Rob and we both would have been set. I would like to see the stats on the failures that have not ended as well as mine. (Thanks Dad for teaching me how to drive during a brake failure)

This whole experience has not been good, Ford does not trust the dealers to determine that a failure has occurred. So like I have said, if you own a 2013/2014 Ecoboost F150 that is part of the recall (Ford # 16s24) All the trucks are equipped with 3.5-liter GTDI engines and built in Michigan between August 1, 2013, through August 22, 2014, and in Kansas City from August 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014., When the brake warning light comes on, PARK IT right then, DO NOT WAIT, your brakes will 100%fail within 2 miles.

I finally found one, its originally from NC. A 1975 ford F100, 351w, c4, ps, pd brakes. Its been painted (poorly) but I will leave it, just a bunch of little repairs and UN pimp it. I've already ordered new coil springs, heater core, some parts to fix oil leaks. I need to get rid of the rims and tires. So if anybody likes them and wants to trade or buy them speak up.

Here is the plans for one
http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread...erie+plans
I know the HF hoists every day price is about 220 each.

Here is a link to the company of the one I have the option to buy for 800. It is the 4k lb one.
https://www.accessiblesystems.com/bul/4ke/4ke.php

If you have any other suggestions please pass them along with difficulty lvl and a rough estimate if possible.

Thanks

so we are looking for some cheap parts laying around to see if its even possible.

gonna convert the leaf spring front end to a extended radius arm/coil spring set up. so far it does seem doable, however we will have to work around the steering shaft on the k5.

if you got some coils,extended arms, frame mount for arms, radius arm caps, etc...we'll probably go with ballistic for the adj coil mounts.


let us know what you might have laying around, thanks]]>

here are some pics....the plan is to install a loft, lighting,cabinets

heres the start(before)











installed a dual outlet/flood light switch. the one on the left is another 220v im wiring up for another spot for plasma cutting


now i have light in front of garage!!


and of coarse...kid approved lol




i already had a 4' light fixture ive been saving to use one day...it worked out great mounting under the loft. so i went to lowes to get one more for the left side, but they are discontinued. but they still had one hanging on display, guy said they are taking it down this week and will call me so i get the right matching light for little or nothing....sweet! i didnt want to have to buy 2 more different lights. so far all this upgrading has cost about $300. $160 for the 2"x2"x.089 wall x24'(4 STICKS), bought some brackets,romex,outlet boxes,switches,etc.


as of now...i gained an extra 80 sq ft!!!

plans include building one bench from the compressor to the right wall(roughly 20'), install some cabinets just below the loft, and slowly remove the benches and storage cabinets on the floor that are up against the left wall. will post more pics as new things happen.]]>
